p. m. by midnight had run into 27 fs. with fresh gales and cloudy weather 

 from S. S. E. and at 3.30 a. m. of the 15th, saw the light vessel's signals again. 



Capt. Redpath adds in reply to my queries, that on Tuesday 10th, 

 at sunrise, he remarked a dull lead coloured sky to the S. E. but it 

 cleared away by 8 a. m. of that day. He experienced no lightning at 

 any time during the Cyclone. When at the calm centre it was much 

 lighter overhead ; the appearance like the breaking up of a heavy gale, 

 but after one hour a dark heavy bank formed to the N. W. in the form 

 of an arch. The ship was surrounded by birds of various kinds and 

 amongst the rest they caught a parrot ; swallows, gulls, boobies, &c. ; all 

 quite exhausted. 



After the Cyclone a dull heavy appearance to the N. W. 

 Abridged Log of the ship Framjee Cowasjee, Capt. Edwards, (No.
